Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Avondale East

Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Average gross rent is $1,856, 36% above the Houston average. Cost burden runs 38% here against 49.5% across Harris County.

On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.5/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.4/10.

Disability prevalence runs 17.2% against 31.5% nationally. The voucher gap is 21.4%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. The severe-burden share is 12%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.

It sits 0.8 points below the Harris County average of 4.0. This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Houston. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.

Nationally it ranks #63,308 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 2.7/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $96,138.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
